A Chebyshev filter is well known for having a sharp skirt characteristic and equi-ripple. On the other hand, a Butterworth filter has a smooth skirt characteristic and maximally flat ripple. This paper analyzes the skirt characteristics of the filters with the cascade connection. The paper deals with the Chebyshev BPF, Cascading Chebyshev BPF, Butterworth BPF, Cascading Butterworth*Chebyshev BPF. First of all, the paper designs the prototype analog LPF in order to analyze skirt characteristics of the BPFs. Then the paper does the frequency transformation into the BPFs and tests the BPFs with cascading them. As a result, the skirt characteristics of the Chebyshev BPF was the sharpest and those of the Cascading Chebyshev BPF, Butterworth BPF, Cascading Butterworth*Chebyshev BPF was superior in order. The validity of the paper was confirmed through minute measurements of test results.

In this paper, we propose a double rings structure to improve the balanced-port characteristics of Balun-Bandpass Filter(Balun-BPF). The conventional Balun-BPF has limitations on output symmetry and skirt steepness. We introduce a double rings structure and the suitable coupling point between the two ring resonators to solve these problems. The fabricated double rings Balun-BPF shows excellent characteristics as a Balun-BPF without the conventional limitations.

In this paper, two types of BPF(Band Pass Filter) which are hair-pin and interdigital have been designed for millimeter-wave application using two types of material which are LCP(Liquid Crystal Polymer) and PTFE(Polytetrafluoroethylene) and also, their performances such as bandwidth, insertion loss, and in-band flatness are compared. The proposed BPF are designed as third-order filters, and their pass band is from 26.5 GHz to 27.3 GHz. Interdigital BPF using PTFE substrate has most wide -3 dB S21 bandwidth of 7.8 GHz and hair-pin BPF using LCP substrate has most narrow -3 dB S21 bandwidth among the proposed four BPF. For in-band insertion loss, hair-pin BPF using PTFE substrate achieves low insertion loss better than -0.667 dB, and hair-pin BPF using LCP substrate exhibits relatively high insertion loss among the proposed four BPF better than -0.937 dB. However, the maximum difference in insertion loss performance among the proposed four BPF is 0.27 dB, which is too small to negligible. For in-band flatness, interdigital BPF using PTFE substrate shows greatest performance of 0.017 dB, and hair-pin BPF using LCP substrate exhibits the lowest performance of 0.07 dB. There are tiny difference in in-band flatness performance of 0.053 dB. As a results, it is considered that the BPF using LCP substrate can derive the performances similar to that of the BPF using PTFE substrate in Millimeter-wave band.

In this paper, we derived the Y-parameter of the recently reported Balun-BPF with a dual mode ring resonator by using the network analysis method. Using the derived Y-parameter we verified that the Balun-BPF structure satisfy the balun conditions. In order to design the Balun-BPF with arbitrary characteristics using the standard BPF design method with ease we derived the immittance slope parameters of the dual mode ring resonator with a load. The notch frequencies are also predicted. By designing with the proposed equations, simulating with a circuit simulator, fabricated and measured a Balun-BPF we confirmed the validation of the equations. The measured data shows bandwidth of 71 MHz and insertion loss of 0.92 dB at the center frequency of 2.46 GHz. It shows the phase imbalance of $174{\sim}181$ degree and the magnitude imbalance within 0.5 dB.

In this paper, we proposed a miniaturized Balun-BPF structure using semi-lumped line The conventional Ring Balun-BPF relatively has a big size structure because they consist of two ring resonators, wide line width ring-resonators for low loss and $\lambda/4$transmission line inverters. The ring resonators are miniaturized to 1/4 size by semi-lumped line and we added triangle patches in the ring resonator for compact Balun-BPF structure. The fabricated Balun-BPF is miniaturized to 1/4 size and contains symmetrical output characteristics of balance ports.

This study is focusing on the trade-offs between the passband ripples and transition bands of the Chebyshev BPF, which is converted by using the Chebyshev LPF that is well known as a proto-type analog filter. It is also focusing on the trade-offs between the passband ripples and transition bands of the cascading Chebyshev BPF, as well as, the trade-offs between the two BPFs. The study finds the frequency responses of the proto-type analog LPF, the Chebyshev BPF and the cascading Chebyshev BPF. The study shows the results as comparative analysis tables. The study designs the 10th Chebyshev BPF in order to analyze it easily. The simulation results show that the Chebyshev BPF decreases about 55% of the transition band for the -2.5[dB] passband ripple comparing to the -0.5[dB] passband ripple. This study shows the effectiveness and economic feasibility in the restricted frequency communication environment for the decrease of the transition band as providing the passband ripple margin.

This paper presents a LTCC Balun-BPF, which is a BPF(band pass filter) with a Balun in a single LTCC chip for the direct interface with a MMIC chip having balanced inputs. The physical dimension of the designed Balun-BPF is $2.4{\times}2.0{\times}0.88mm^3$ and the used dielectric constant ${\varepsilon}_r$ is 36. A Balun of three-lines structure with striplines and a BPF of comb-line structure was combined into the Balun-BPF. The simulated result shows 4.8㏈ of insertion loss, 178~179 degree of the phase imbalance, 14㏈ of the return.

A proposed multi-layer ceramic (MLC) chip type band-pass filter (BPF) is presented. The MLC chip BPF has the benefits of low cost and small size. The BPF consists of coulped stripline resonators and coupling capacitors. The BPF is designed to have an attenuation pole at below the passband for a receiver band of IMT-2000 handset. The computer-aided design technology is applied for analysis of the BPF frequency characteristics. The passband and attenuation pole depend the coupling between resonators and coupling capacitance. The frequency characterics of the passband and attenuation pole are analysed with the variance of the coupling between resonators and coupling capacitance. An equivalent circuit and structure of MLC chip BPF are proposed. The frequency characteristics of the BPF is well acceptable for IMT-2000 application.
